39th Illinois Infantry

Picture of Regimental Battery manned by Detachment of the 39th Regiment Illinois Volunteers during the Siege of Charleston, South Carolina. On the back in ink: "Sent home by Lt. Jone Frane." Dimly in pencil and no longer very legible but possibly: "This is one of the photos Lt. Jone Frane at end of photo" Thus the photo could be about Summer 1863.
